The home of the soul

I found this movie a year ago, and after putting it on hold for a long time, I couldn't find a night to watch it. In my mind, this kind of classic must be enjoyed at a suitable time and environment. I suddenly remembered it last month, and put the disc into the DVD that night, but was told that the reading failed. Tonight is very suitable for watching a good movie. With the mentality of giving it a try, I found it again and put it into the computer optical drive.

God bless! A gray-haired old lady appeared on the screen to call her son in a foreign land, and the story began...

As the protagonist gradually fell into memory in the lightning, I was fascinated by the small Italian county in the 1930s and 1940s , whether it is the dust flying in the air or the light scattered by the wind, everything is so attractive. People live in harmony with each other, and even the madman in that square is crazy cute. Of course, the cutest character is Xiao Duoduo. This little clever ghost with the face of Ronaldo can easily bring people back to childhood, especially his collection of film films full of tin buckets is simply too nostalgic .

I fell in love with Mr. Evert. It was the night when Xiao Duoduo was beaten and cried because he spent the money to buy milk for his mother to go to the movies. a great good deed. Even later, he scratched his head in the examination room and asked Xiao Duoduo for help, which made people feel good about him. As for his later advice to Xiao Duoduo in the screening room based on his own experience, it made people feel that the old man was amiable and respectable. In that accident, I was already worried about him as a family member.

There are some lucky people in the world who meet someone like this in their lifetime: a supporter in youth, a deconstructor in youth, a supporter in old age—this is often a person, and most likely a person. A stranger who is not related by blood. But these lucky ones will always leave him at a young age for various reasons, and it is not until they want to see them again that they realize how important and how good that person is.

The love scene in the film is very regrettable. It reminds me of a similar science fiction novel. The main idea is that the hero and heroine have been in love for a long time and are about to get married. Before an important date, the heroine suffered an accident. But because the memory of the missing day was not repaired, the date of the appointment was mistakenly remembered. So the two parted from life and death, and met again after many years, which was very sad. In this era of love gradually losing trust, this kind of story can still make people feel emotional. From the perspective of a bystander, I agree with the old man's approach; and if you set yourself as the male protagonist, you must be reluctant to let your first love marry your idiot classmate. Damn, why do you think this scene is so familiar?

The biggest takeaway from watching this movie is that I decided to give up traveling and go home for the holidays. Only returning to the place where you were born is the best destination for your soul. Also, I have a crazy idea when I watch the movie, that is, after I quit my job, I spend a few months to go to Europe and have a good time. The cities in the movie are so beautiful. It's just that I don't know when this idea will be realized. At present, it seems that it is still a long way off.

My passion for movies has risen to a new height. I mentioned "Inception" to my mother a few days ago, and she told me that the movie theater I used to go to when I was a child had long since closed. I deeply miss the mutton skewers at the door, the canteen selling melon seeds and plums, and the lingering smell of melon seed shells in the movie theater.

Recommend this movie to anyone who loves movies.
